The immersive, 360-degree series tells the story of the Vietnam War as it has never before been expressed on film. Featuring testimony from nearly 100 witnesses — including many Americans who fought in the war and others who opposed it, as well as Vietnamese combatants and civilians from both the winning and losing sides — “The Vietnam War” provides a revelatory view about what happened during the era, what went wrong and what lessons can be learned.

In partnership with community organizations, screenings events will be held:

Ten years in the making, “The Vietnam War” series brings the war and the chaotic epoch it encompassed viscerally to life.
